Literature and Writing Focus

Students interested in a literature and writing rich curriculum can opt to drop the online Language Arts course, with teacher and parent approval. This track is designed for highly literate students who want to emphasize literary analysis and writing in multiple genres. This track is considered high school preparation at an advanced level.

Project Based Learning

Students who prefer a more hands on approach to learning can opt to drop either their online science or social studies course. This track emphasizes research, report writing, and activities that show rather than tell. Some examples might include science fair projects, science experiments with lab write ups, dioramas, poster board presentations, Google Slide projects, iMovies on academic topics, built or constructed models, figures, and artifacts, art projects, and writing projects based on field trips or other experience based learning.
